Making bracelets for St. Valentine's Day

St. Valentine’s Day is coming again and our new task is to create something made with love. This year our campaign is to make love bracelets and sell them for charity aims. In order to achieve this target we had a lot of beads in the form of hearth and meters of thread. The most difficult part was to pass the thread through the beads because the wholes of some of the wooden beads were too small. I had to use wooden stick in order to make the wholes bigger and pass the thread through them. There was a problem with some of the already made bracelets because their thread was too short and it was impossible to tie it around someone’s wrist. I decided to change them as I tied two bracelets together in order to become longer. At the end I was really satisfied with the results and I believe that everyone would be happy to receive packed bracelet with hearth and message saying: Be in love <3 

First CAS meeting fot the forth term

These meetings at the beginning of each term might seem boring and unnecessary but actually they are really helpful and reduce the amount of work we have to do. It is the beginning of the last months we are going to spend in this school and in order to make them unforgetabale we  should not only study but also have some fun especially with the extracurricular activities. Unfortunately we don’t have enough time for trips but there are a plenty of celebrations in which we can participate. However, in my opinion the schedule for this term is too short but I believe that during the term we will come up with new ideas and would extend it. Our last Personal Planning Pages are already completed now we only have to do everything planned there.

Opening of the clubs

Every year there is a presentation about the clubs in the school. We are all obliged to take part in at least one club but as an IB student I needed to have more in order to fully complete my CAS work. Every years there are new clubs which are more interesting and creative than the previous ones and offer new ways to develop yourself. The choice between so many clubs is quite difficult and I had to think about it for a while before choosing. Some of the cubs that impressed me were Comics club, Club United Nations, Club Applied arts, etc.. However, because of the lack of time I decided to choose less clubs – Applied arts club, Sports club, Club Tourism and Charity club “Hope and Love”.

International teachers day – poster

This year we decided again to prepare a surprise for our teachers for the International teachers day. We didn’t want to repeat the things from the last year and to make something new and original. However, we didn’t have many possibilities cause it was during the weekend and the only thing we could do was a poster. With my classmates Gerry and Velislav we decided to be more creative than usual and drew books with the idea to thank our teachers for everything they have done for us and for all the knowledge we have received from them. We also added some quotes about teachers with the idea to show them how important they are and to make them feel special. Late on the Friday afternoon we left it in the teacher’s room with the idea the teachers to see it on Monday morning and to feel joy and happiness.

Celebrating the Independence day

This is one of the most important celebrations in our country. In 1908 Ferdinad signed the manifest for the independence in Veliko Turnovo in St, Forty Martyrs Church. Every year there are big celebrations which starts early in the morning and continue the whole day. In the morning the events happened in the church where the manifest was signed and then moved to the Tsarevets forecast – the capital of the Second Bulgarian Kingdom. During the day there was a parade to the center of the town where wreaths and flowers were given to the monument of Mother Bulgaria and where there were concerts and performances. In the late afternoon there was an attempt for a record for the longest horo which was also a part of the application of Veliko Turnovo for European capital of culture for 2019. Me and some of my schoolmates decided to take part in this event and to support our town. The music was very popular and we all knew the dance except the foreign girls – Amy from the USA and Demy – from the UK. Although we didn’t manage to break the Guinness record we had a lot of fun together and had the opportunity to participate in this important for our town inciative.

First CAS meeting for third term

Again it was time for the trivial meeting at the beginning of each term. It is also the beginning of the year and we haven’t seen each other very often during the summer holiday so we were really excited and full of energy and creative ideas. As usually we made a rough plan what to do during this termin order to fullfill our CAS tasks. What is more, we had a lot of fun together trying to be as creative as possible with original ideas not already done things. I was very happy because I was together with my friends again.

First day of school

Twelve years ago it was one of the most exciting days in my life – a first day at school knowing no one and not to know what to expect. I remember how afraid I was than and now I was so excited again cause I knew that never again this day would repeat. Now I know almost everyone at the school but I was again afraid about what to expect when this s school year finishes and was also a little bit worried. I had to read my speech in front of the whole school including parents. My worry was maybe because I knew it was on of the last chances I can do something at this school and I wanted it to be perfect. When it was the turn of my speech my hand was shaking and I couldn’t read almost anything so I just closed the paper and said what I remember but from the bottom of my heart. Maybe it wasn’t perfect but I believe that these word said from the name of all students were special for the teachers and they would remember them.
